Puqian Bridge (铺前大桥) is an under-construction cable-stayed bridge east of Haikou City, Hainan, China.[2][3] It will cross the entrance to Dongzhai Harbor and is being built to provide quicker access to Wenchang, a large, administrative division of Hainan province. (The area of Wenchang contains the city of Wenchang further south.)

The eastern end of the bridge terminates at the town of Puqian with the western end at a small island containing a few villages including Hou Xi Village. A road bridge is being constructed to connect the short distance between the western end of the island and a peninsula, the western shore of Dongzhai Harbour. Another main road is being constructed to connect the tip of this peninsula to Haikou.

The entire length of the bridge will be 5,600 metres long and 32 metres wide. The main span will be 4,050 metres long and have a single tower.[1]

Construction of the Puqian Bridge began on March 7, 2015 and is scheduled for completion in 2019. The estimated cost is 3 billion Renminbi.
